Truly, this is something which you need to check into, and are you following up with chemistries with your history (oooo i sound like a mother). While it is true, most carcinoids that are in the appendix are benign.

If that is the case, then maybe I could go on T for a limited period of time, just until I get the masculinizing effects, then go off. I was thinking of that anyway, to be honest. Since I have no ovaries or uterus, I won't go back to producing estrogen afterwards, so that won't effect the changes that T will make. I gotta talk to my doctor about this.

Oh, and the word Carcinoid can be broken down to mean not cancer, but acts like a cancer: Carc= cancer, noid= acts like, or like but not the same.

Oh, and one more thing: when I had my appendix out, they did a CT scan and found nothing more in my gut. That was 3 years ago.
